I wonder how pre-MAGA GOP'ers are reconciling this new reality with their existing beliefs.
I remember when we had skilled helmsman that steered the US away from recession despite all the indicators like inverted yield curve screaming recession.

Yet it was that same administration that brought inflation back down to its targeted level.
